Sad News
Mom's sister Carol died suddenly today.
She had a disease called Scleroderma.
It slowly hardens a persons' skin until they cannot function. 5% of people with this develop a rarer form of it in which the internal organs harden too. She had this rare form. It was diagnosed less than a year ago and progressed very rapidly.
Two days ago she was feeling pretty good and was out shopping with Gramma. Later yesterday evening became very sick.
Gramma got her to the hospital where she died, peacefully, this morning.
She was 60 years old.
She & mom were very close.
